Do you create multiple accounts in social media platforms - one for your business or agency and another personal? If you just use one account for everything, where do you draw the line at sharing personal stuff, discussing politics, etc.? - LauraBrarian
I am pretty transparent. One account on everything and I will be as honest as I can be. Like many of my gen, I think I make less of a principled distinction betweeen the personal and private spheres - Neal "thePuck" Jansons
I'm one-faced. Makes it easier to manage, not to mention more authentic! - Mighty Casey
I am completely in favor of keeping personal and professional life separate. One needs to be smart about what image he/she is portraying online. If your clients don't want to hear about your personal life offline, why would you post that information on your company blog or professional networking site? I wouldn't call it being 'two-faced' or being inauthentic but rather being smart about sharing the right information with the right audience. - Mia
In my former professional engagements, I've been less transparent. Now that I work for a public library, I'm a bit more transparent, but there are still somethings related to the work I do that I won't talk about in social media spaces. I keep personal stuff out of linked in. - Cecily
the separation is an illusion, an artifice, it will matter less and less ... in fact, this separation is why the gap between real life and job can be so onerous for many ... in the new paradigm, it is over already - Gregory Lent
I agree with Gregory. Personal vs. professional is morphing. I think we're fooling ourselves. It's hard to have any thing that's "personal" online. - Angela
Wow, thanks to those who commented directly on my blog. Friendfeed rocks. Guess I might have to get back into blogging again! - LauraBrarian
Ok... I'd like to try one of those! hahaha - AJ Batac
On that show where the guy goes around the world drinking with the locals, can't remember the name, the guy drank wine poured from a tank with snakes. He said it tasted like snake, whatever that meant. Can't remember the country either. I am not being helpful. - Eban Crawford
My Dad is a journalist. Since a young age, I was exposed to typewriters, printing presses and the smell of fresh ink. Back in the early 70’s, newspaper production was a difficult cycle that took a lot of effort and manual labor.
What hasn’t changed from those years is the need for professional, thought-provoking and unique content. Providing this content should be the focus of the newspaper industry. - Jorge Escobar

Agreed. Although I'd call it the news or journalism industry. The paper part of it is irrelevant when it comes to content. - Badger Gravling
